[QUOTE="Johndakerftw, post: 3271556, member: 76543"]Hi everyone, Are you ready to celebrate?! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Top Ten lists and Secret Saturnalia threads, some of my favourites! I wasn’t able to participate in the Secret Saturnalia. But, one of our friends sent me a wonderful gift that is especially meaningful to me at this time of year. Deacon Ray sent me this amazing Star of Bethlehem AE Trichalkon with Zeus on the obverse and a ram looking at a star on the reverse. :woot::woot: This has always been in the top 5 coins on my wish list and I’m so so happy to have it. Thank you, Deacon Ray! [ATTACH=full]862960[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]862961[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]862962[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]862963[/ATTACH] He also sent me an awesome card that I’ll post a picture of tomorrow. :) This is a great coin with a fascinating theory behind what is commemorated on the reverse. You can read more about it here: [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/data/cartwright/Star%20of%20Bethlehem%20Coins.pdf[/url] A lot of the information goes over my limited comprehension, but I lean toward the theory being true. ‘Tis the season for boss Christmas carols like this one::cool::singing: [MEDIA=youtube]224eQ7jynHE[/MEDIA] Feel free to post whatever randomness you like.
